If your voters are not citizens then yes it is voter suppression. Why are Dems not concerned about illegal votes?

Maybe I am on a bad acid trip or something but is this a joke?

Democrats are openly fighting for the rights of foreigners over US citizens. Every day we hear a hundred stories about how the election was swayed because of Russia. Yet here they are demanding that we have open election fraud.

Why are Dems not concerned about illegal votes?

Indeed. The question answers itself.

Democrats are very much concerned about illegal votes. Without them their reprospects for returning to power are considerably weaker.

“Why are Dems not concerned about illegal votes?”
The Democrats only have 3 ways of wining elections:’
1. Lying
2. Character assassination
3. Voter fraud

“ Why are Dems not concerned about illegal votes?”

Because those are their votes.

[SecAmndmt]

They aren’t, because the political establishment is a criminal enterprise, and we are the enemy.

I do not think Perez is a total idiot but he likely believes the effect of such a question will be to decrease a state’s population for House representation not keeping illegals from voting. States like Cal, NY, Ill, NJ and yes Texas he fears would see their House numbers decrease if the Census reported fewer citizens. Of course the dumb thing about this is that the Constitution Art One only says numbers of persons and not citizens when apportioning the House. However the phrase Indians not taxed might, by a clever constitutional lawyer, be applied to illegals on the theory that they are citizens of a foreign nation and subject to it. Indeed Mexico’s present President and its past President, Fox, by their statements and interventions contribute to that fact. And that could result in a significant decrease in the representation of some, mostly Dem, states.

They are concerned with illegal voter suppression.

Only if they’re Russian illegals.

Guest host Katy Tur asked Perez shouldn't it matter who is a citizen of this country, in terms of representation, and who is not.

SIMPLE LESSON (so there will be no need to say it again I hope) If you are in the US, either you are a citizen (majority) or you are not a citizen.

If you are not a citizen but here, you can be here legally and be protected, or you can be here illegally.

If you are here against US laws, YOU are the problem. We should not be paying for your support if you are here illegally. We are looking for you to return you to your homelands where you are a citizen under their laws.
